Is there no strategy to offset line entities? As soon as instrument is activated the immediate is to pick a face or edge.
Working with a non-orthagonal line within the YZ aircraft.
I can also’t appear to rotate a rectangle in that very same aircraft, defaults to XY rotation.
I’ve watched the SketchUp for internet classes.
Present us a picture of what you are attempting to do. Higher, embody the SketchUp Mannequin, too.
I’ve by no means shared earlier than, did that work?
within the drawing, working with a 20 diploma triangle within the YZ aircraft, I’ve a line drawn perpendicular to the 20 diploma line, and I’m attempting to offset it.
You didn’t share the SketchUp mannequin. It’s solely the viewer. You could obtain it to your laptop after which add it right here.
Offset works on multiple edge.
Simply use inferencing if you wish to draw one other edge parallel to that one.

okay I’ll strive once more. however utilizing Net sketchup offset doesn’t let me choose a line. right?
Attempt deciding on the 2 strains after which utilizing the offset instrument. Offset gained’t work on single strains.
Offset with a single edge is transfer/copy.

thanks! i lastly discovered the Perpendicular inference!
query resolved
Going again to offsetting a single edge in SketchUp in case another person comes together with an analogous query. Offset requires a aircraft of reference so the instrument is aware of which strategy to do the offsetting. With a curve equivalent to an arc and even simply a few edge segments that’s not an issue as a result of the factors on the curve outline the aircraft. With a single edge section as you had been attempting to offset, there’s nothing to outline the aircraft of the offset in 3D area. You appear to the attempting to use your 2D CAD experiencce to the 3D modeling. Don’t do this.
